Clean Water Program Questionnaire​​Pursuant to the Federal Clean Water Act, the NPDES Municipal Storm Water Discharge Permit issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board and County Nonpoint Source Pollution Ordinance, the County requires storm water treatment measures and pesticide use reduction measures for certain types of projects.

The questionnaire assists the Land Development Engineering Section in determining whether the project will require storm water treatment measures.
